People watching can be very entertaining! |
For some, layovers are a
wonderful time to get out of the plane that has held them hostage for hours and
walk around on some steady land. For others, layovers are a drag and can’t end
soon enough. Check out some of these tips on how to make the most of your
layover at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport:
1.
Explore Houston! Depending on how long your layover at IAH
airport is, get out and explore this great city! Some layovers can be as long
as 5-6 hours, just enough time to hit most of the popular Houston sites.
2.
Work out. If you don’t want to leave the airport, make the most of
your stay by burning a few calories. If you are shy, or really don’t want other
travelers to watch you do jumping jacks in the terminal, download a distance
app [Strava, Nike Plus etc] on your smart device and take a brisk walk around
the airport. You can clock in a few miles before your next flight arrives.
3.
Eat, drink, and be merry! Nothing makes a layover pass faster than a
trip to one of the many Houston Airport bars for a quick drink. Most
restaurants have a happy hour special, perfect if your layover is during the
afternoon.
4.
Get
a room. If your layover is
going to be very long, and/or during the wee hours of the morning, consider
getting a cheap hotel room so that you will feel refreshed for the next leg of
your journey. Can’t spend that much money? Purchase some ear plugs and a sleep
mask before your trip, and get a little shut eye right at your gate.
5.
Read. Just about every airport has a multitude
of magazine carts and bookstores. Browse every magazine on the rack or purchase
a book you have been dying to read. Better still, take this opportunity to
download a book onto your smart device and enjoy some quiet time.
